• Full-perimeter gutter directs condensate to a rear drain—no messy drips.
• Tool-free, removable baffle simplifies daily cleaning.

• Factory-welded ceiling hanging brackets speed installation.
• Ships from Effingham, IL and backed by 135+ years of John Boos craftsmanship.

How It Works

Vapor rises from your equipment (1), contacts the internal baffle (2) where it condenses, drips into the perimeter gutter (3), and exits through the rear drain tube (4). No fans, no ducts—just reliable moisture control.
